Shadowhunter Weekend Day 1: Cassandra Clare at Waterstones

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Cathrin in Book News, Cassandra Clare, Exclusives // 14 Comments

This past weekend Cassandra Clare was in London to celebrate the release of Walker Books’ reissued The Mortal Instruments editions and to attend Book Trust’s Young Adult Literature Convention. TMI Source was present at both events and although we live tweeted about what Cassie had to say, we obviously were not able to share everything with you – until now!

Casssandra Clare’s first event was at Waterstones Hampstead on Friday (July 17) with Sarah Rees Brennan, co-author of The Bane Chronicles and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy, as the moderator and Mìla Fürstová, the designer of the new UK TMI editions. These lovely ladies sat down together to talk about art, feminism, the Shadowhunters TV cast, a Malec wedding and more. You can look at our tweets again in case you missed them, but we have also filmed everything for you. Enjoy 🙂

Here is a better look at the plate:

The idea for CoB came to Cassie in a tattoo studio and Míla's art is all due to a needle. What a cool coincidence. – C

Writers and artists can have artistic blocks. Cassie is in a permanent chef block (which Sarah confirms). – C

Cassie would love for Míla to design new UK TID covers. She thinks that the style is perfect for TID. – C

@TMI_Source or more like a more dirty version of that scene 😉

Alberto is a very sweet guy and makes you think "I wanna hang out with this guy." – C

The evening was fanastic, everyone was very friendly and the book shop was the perfect venue for Cassie’s talk so thank you so much to Cassie, Míla, Sarah, Waterstones Hampstead and also Sarah from Walker Books for an incredible evening!
